ANAHEIM : Tree-Planting Event Open to Public

ReLeaf Anaheim is sponsoring a tree planting today as part of an effort to improve the Chevy Chase area of the city.

Six residential streets near Chevy Chase Drive, which a few years ago was a drug- and crime-plagued neighborhood, will have 50 Australian willows planted along the parkways.

Those interested in helping to plant the trees should meet at 1222 W. Marlboro Ave. at 8 a.m. City parks officials also ask that volunteers bring shovels and gloves.

ReLeaf Anaheim is working with California ReLeaf, which aims to plant 20 million trees in the state by the year 2000.
